22 servings (1/2 cup each) |
| 3 | cups Corn Chex® cereal |
| 3 | cups Wheat Chex® cereal |
| 3 | cups Honey Nut Cheerios® cereal |
| 1 1/2 | cups sliced almonds |
| 1 | cup dried banana chips |
| 1/2 | cup butter or margarine |
| 1/2 | cup honey |
| 1 | teaspoon instant nonfat dry milk or original-flavor nondairy creamer, if desired |
| 1/2 | teaspoon ground cardamom |
| 1/2 | teaspoon ground ginger |
| 1/2 | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1/2 | teaspoon ground nutmeg |
| 1/2 | teaspoon ground cloves |
| 1/2 | teaspoon dried orange peel |
| 1 | teaspoon vanilla |
|
| For spicy flavor, omit dried milk or creamer. If dried milk or creamer is used, flavor will be less spicy and a little sweeter. |
|
| Look for the spices—and bottles of orange peel in the baking section. Or you can save a bit of money sometimes purchasing these items in bulk. |
